Dale House

Dale House is an early 19th century house with later 19th century alterations and an extension. The front and left side are built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, the right side of squared sandstone, and it sits on a sandstone plinth. The main house has a slate roof, while the outshut has a pantile roof. Brick stacks are present, with one having been rebuilt. The house follows a central-stairhall plan, with one room deep, and features an outshut and a single-window extension to the right.

The front facade has two storeys and three windows, with a lower two-storey, single-window extension to the right. The central door consists of six recessed panels, topped by a Gothic-glazed overlight. Sixteen-pane sash windows with painted stone sills are found throughout the house. All window openings feature painted wedge lintels. The extension has four-pane sashes with a bordered herringbone-tooled lintel above the ground floor window. End stacks are present on the house, and an end right stack on the extension.

Inside, there is an open-string, dog-leg staircase with a moulded, ramped-up handrail, wreathed at the foot, turned newel posts and balusters, and shaped tread-ends with paterae. A ground-floor room on the left has a panelled window opening, a moulded dado rail, and a cornice. A fireplace dating from the early 19th century includes a fluted frieze, foliate moulding to the centre panel, and wheatear drops on each jamb.
